MDES releasing 40 staff members across Mississippi
Faced with a $6 million funding shortfall, the Mississippi Department of Employment Security will release 40 non-status team members by the end of July.
Given changing customer demands and available-federal funding, the agency expects affected employees to be able to apply for more than 30 open positions.
Jobs — which will vary by region of the state — will be announced internally and employees will undergo a competitive interviewing process.

What is a good age to ge a little girls ears pierced?

My DD1 has been asking for pretty ears like Mummies on & off for the past few months... Her friend is having Hers done tomorrow & I want to get Amelias done at the same time... She is 2y6mths!
What is peoples opinions?
Is she too young? She is very 'grown up' for her actual age... She is very indepent! Goes to the toilet on her own, dress' herself & so on...
Posted 04 July 2011 - 04:36 PM
When they are older enough to care for their ears and new piercings and keep them clean and when they express an intrest in getting them done. just personal opinion
Posted 04 July 2011 - 04:38 PM
Little girls shouldn't get their ears pierced until they've grown up, and hold their very own driver's licence and job. Then they can drive to the piercing joint of their choice, and pay for it.
Your little girl is beautiful. She doesn't need holes in her head to improve her looks.
Besides, she's 2yo. She's not remotely capable of making that decision.
Posted 04 July 2011 - 04:39 PM
When they are old enough to understand what's involved, that it is permanent and can take care of them themselves.
For DD1 that was her 9th birthday. IMO that was an OK age and earlier than that, I doubt she would have fully understood how permanent they are and I would have had to keep reminding her to take care of them and to clean her ears every day.
Also keep in mind that the younger a child has their ears pierced, the higher the chance they will develop metal allergies which means they won't be able to wear jewellery later in life. There is also the chance that the hole will move as the ear lobes grow, so doing it young can mean that as an adult, the hole is in entirely the wrong spot.
Posted 04 July 2011 - 04:40 PM
in the words of my mother, and which I plan to use myself,
When you're old enough to pay for it yourself! I expect that means about 15ish, as we don't plan on giving pocket money etc.
Posted 04 July 2011 - 04:40 PM
DD1 (5 in November) wanted them until I described exactly what was going to happen and that it'd hurt. Whenever she wants something on her ears now, when playing dress-ups, she uses stickers
Personally, I think your daughter is too young.
Posted 04 July 2011 - 04:41 PM
For us it's 12 years old. That age might be reevaluated in the future, but 12 is what we've agreed on so far.
Posted 04 July 2011 - 04:42 PM
When she's 16. Or at least that's how it is with my youngest. Didn't get the chance with eldest daughter, as my ex monster in law took her out and got them done against my wishes... *stabs voodoo doll*
Posted 04 July 2011 - 04:42 PM
When they can afford to pay for them themselves.

I had my ears pieced when I was a month old, I have terribly large ears and earring just brought more attention to them. I wouldn't wear earrings now except that I have holes and they look worse than the earrings.

It is 12 years for us as well.
Posted 04 July 2011 - 04:44 PM
Maybe 12 or so. It's painful and permanent. Not a decision for a 2 year old.
It was the sort of thing my friends did around their 12th birthday. I was closer to 20 when I had mine done.
In the meantime there are cute stick ons, necklaces and bracelets if your child is interested in that sort of thing.
Posted 04 July 2011 - 04:44 PM
I agree, when she's old enough to care for them herself, then I'd consider it.
Why not buy her some funky clip on earrings? Just as much fun to dress up in but much less chance of pain and infection.
Posted 04 July 2011 - 04:45 PM
I've told my girls they can have their pierced when they are 13. No earlier.
Posted 04 July 2011 - 04:45 PM
This will be another one of those threads that ends badly as the piercing issue always does.... but what I have to keep reminding myself is that toddlers and kids don't know what they want!. That's why they have parents to make the decisions for them. My daughter also sees my 'picture' (ie. tattoo) on my back and wants one too, but it's OK to just say 'no'. Just get some clip on dress up ones instead.
Otherwise you'll be banished to EB hell for ever doing it. And in saying that, who cares what EB thinks. If you like it, do it.

OP I would go back and have a read through of other "pierced ears" threads. I am sure you will find your answer there.
For me, if I have a daughter, definitley not until 16 which is how old I was.
Posted 04 July 2011 - 04:46 PM
Not before 16.
And seriously, you are suggesting that your 2yo is quite grown up for her age!?! She's a baby FGS. She has no capacity to make such a decision. Be the grownup and tell her no.

12, only that I had to wait! Lol. Also I used to pierce ears in pharmacy and hated piercing Very little girls ears!
Posted 04 July 2011 - 04:47 PM
Never and I would not consider getting it done while they are a "Little Girl" but that is just me.
Posted 04 July 2011 - 04:47 PM
I was 7 when I had mine done. I was old enough to know what was going on and old enough to know to turn them and clean them (although I do remember them getting infected)
You are going to get all sorts of opinions here from being told that anytime is fine to being told your an awful mother for thinking of having something so barbaric done to your child.
My own personal opinion is that 2 is too young. I don't think she quite understand the concept of earrings.
If I had a daughter I would probably want her to be at least 7 or 8 maybe before allowing her to get them done. But I guess I won't know until I have one and she's that age...
Posted 04 July 2011 - 04:48 PM
You've left it a little late really...she should have had them done before her umbilical stump fell off. That way she has no say in the pain inflicted on her or the permanent scars.

This is a divisional application of Ser. No. 09/266,528 filed Mar. 11, 1999 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,377,734, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein.
The invention relates to a method for securing cables in a duct or pipe system for flowing media, such as gas, waste water, rain water or mixed water.
German Gebrauchsmuster DE 297 00 912 has disclosed a fiber-optic cable used for this system is fixed using resilient securing elements, for example, the fiber-optic cable being arranged between the wall and the securing element. Appropriate robots are required for the securing or for the introduction of the securing elements in inaccessible duct or pipe systems, which robots, under remote control, set down the securing elements at appropriate distances and thus fix the introduced fiber-optic cable.
The first object of the invention is to provide a method which enables the laying of a cable or other elongate hollow section in a duct or pipe system in a simple manner. This object is achieved with a method comprising the steps of providing a duct or pipe system with at least two accessible locations, and either tensioning a cable with at least one high-tension-strength element between two accessible locations or tensioning a high-tensile-strength element between the two accessible locations and then attaching the cable to the high-tension-strength element.
Furthermore, the invention is based upon a second object, which consists in designing a cable network for a duct or pipe system which can be installed by the method according to the invention. The object is achieved by means of a cable net work comprising a duct or pipe system having spaced anchoring points and a cable is either fixed to at least one high-tensile-strength element which is attached by securing the element to the anchoring points at appropriate distances or includes the high-tensile-strength element and is anchored in the system to the spaced anchoring points.
By comparison with the known prior art, the method according to the invention and the cable network according to the invention afford considerable advantages, which are primarily manifested in simple and short mounting, the means required for this purpose likewise being simple and extremely cost-effective. Further advantages may be seen in the fact that in the method according to the invention, the duct or the pipe can hardly be blocked up by the introduced cable since there are no deposit points for contaminants to be found within the duct or pipe. The mounting of a cable by anchoring is generally already known from overhead cable technology, so the aids which are essentially familiar in that technology can also be employed in the context of mounting within a duct or pipe system. As is shown, however, there is a need for intensive considerations to use such a laying system in a duct or pipe system, since only relatively complicated mounting methods have been used to date. Thus, in inaccessible duct or pipe systems, robot vehicles have been necessary to date in order to secure the subsequently inserted cables in such a way that they do not constitute an obstacle. It is advantageous, moreover, that the method according to the invention can be used for any type of ducts or pipes made of metal, stoneware or plastic, since the securing for a high-tensile-strength element is performed in each case at the anchoring points which are each arranged at the access locations of the duct or pipe network. It is also advantageous that during duct repairs, for example, the cables or hollow sections can be removed from the duct with extremely little effort, thereby enabling the repair to be carried out without difficulties. Afterwards, the installation is just as simple as during the original laying.
In the case of the method according to the invention, firstly, the cable or the hollow section is pulled in or pushed in. Afterwards, the anchoring points are secured on the shaft walls or shaft outlets of the duct or pipe system. In the simplest case, according to the invention, a high-tensile-strength element, for example a tension cable known per se, such as a steel cable, is suspended from the anchoring points and correspondingly anchored by means of a turnbuckle. Any desired cable or elongate hollow section can then be attached to such a high-tensile-strength element using suitable securing means, for example using clamps or restraint coils. Since the high-tensile-strength element with the attached cable or hollow section is hung in each case in the upper region of the duct or pipe, it does not interfere with the flow of the flowing media, such as gas, waste water, rain water or mixed water, with the result that no deposits can form. In addition, it is still possible to use robots, without any obstructions, for example in order to inspect the duct system. The possible anchoring length of such a high-tensile-strength element with attached cable or hollow section depends in each case on the duct routing and the permissible anchoring force of the high-tensile-strength element. In addition, the high-tensile-strength element can also be additionally fixed in intermediate shafts with the aid of supporting coils or deflection rollers, thereby enabling longer anchoring lengths.
In the case of this method according to the invention, however, it is also possible to use high-tensile-strength cables in which high-tensile-strength elements are already incorporated in the cable structure, in particular in the cable sheath, or in the hollow section, or are secured at the surface. The laying procedure is even simpler in the case of this variant since the high-tensile-strength element already forms a unit with the cable or hollow section, with the result that only one laying operation is required. At the anchoring points, the high-tensile-strength element is then respectively removed from the cable structure or the hollow section and fixed to the anchoring points for anchoring purposes. Anchoring coils can also be wound onto the respective cable, which coils are then suspended from the respective anchoring point. A turnbuckle is then additionally interposed at the other end of the cable or hollow section, the requisite anchoring ultimately being effected by the turnbuckle.
Depending on the method, it is possible to use any desired types of cables for this kind of laying, such as microcables which comprise a thin tube and optical waveguides loosely introduced therein. It is also possible to use dielectric cables, for example an "all dielectric self supportly cable" (ADSS) having a rodent-proof sheath or else a so-called TOP cable, which is provided with a glass-fiber-reinforced plastic sheath over the cable core. Further types of cables are specified in connection with the description of the Figures.
The present invention is furthermore based on the object or reducing the sag between two anchoring locations in the case of anchored cables or elongate hollow sections within a duct or pipe system. This object that has been set is achieved with a method of the type explained in the introduction by virtue of the fact that at least one contact-pressure means is inserted in the region between two anchoring points within the duct or pipe system, and that the high-tensile-strength element with an attached cable or a cable with at least one high-tensile-strength element or an elongate hollow section with at least on high-tensile-strength element is subsequently pressed against the inner wall of the duct or pipe system as a result of expansion of the contact-pressure means.
As is already known, high-tensile-strength elements with an attached cable, cables with at least one integrated high-tensile-strength element or an elongate hollow section with a high-tensile-strength element are tensioned between entry shafts in duct or pipe systems. If there are very long anchored lengths or if the course of the duct or pipe system is not straight, an increased sag is possible in the central region, which sag means that problems may possibly occur during the customary cleaning processes or during duct operation. According to the invention, then, an expandable or spreadable contact-pressure means is introduced in the region of the largest sag, where it is finally expanded or spread open. As a result, the introduced high-tensile-strength element with attached cable, the cable with an integrated high-tensile-strength element or a hollow section with a high-tensile-strength element is pressed against the inner wall of the duct or pipe system, so that, by this means, there is no longer any sag. As a result of the long anchored length being divided into two partial regions, the sag established in the partial regions is considerably reduced, with the result that it is not necessary to expect nay disruption in duct operation. The contact-pressure means that is used according to the invention is, for example, a plastic hose which, if required, is reinforced with glass fibers and is generally referred to as a "part-liner". This plastic hose is preferably coated or impregnated with a curable adhesive, with the result that it can be fixed on the inner wall of the duct or pipe system after being expanded or spread open. Such a part-liner is pushed, for example, onto a rubber sac and, with the aid of a robot, is taken to the intended location, usually the middle of an anchored length. At that point, the sac is inflated with air or a propellant gas with the result that the part-liner is pressed onto the inner wall, where it already sticks by virtue of the adhesive. Once the part-liner has been pressed onto the inner wall, the sac is moved again and, depending on the type of adhesive, the adhesive is cured with the aid of UV or infrared irradiation or with hot air.
It is also possible to use contact-pressure means in the form of spreadable or expandable rings made of plastic or steel, in particular stainless steel. Such contact-pressure means can be used separately by themselves or else in connection with a hose-like part-liner if, for example, the supporting force of the part-liner is to be reinforced. In such a case, firstly, the contact-pressure means in the form of the ring will be installed by spreading or expansion and then the hose-like part-liner will be mounted over it in the manner already described. Suitable adhesives for the part-liner are the materials which are generally suitable for such applications and must be, in particular, resistant to water and chemicals. Thus, the use of two-component adhesives is also entirely possible.
Other advantages and features of the invention will be readily apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiments, the drawings and claims.

FIG. 9 is a cross sectional view of a TOP cable with a glass-fiber-reinforced plastic sheath;
FIG. 10 is a cross sectional view of an OWK cable with two high-tensile-strength elements situated oppositely in the cable sheath;
FIG. 11 is a cross sectional view showing two securing variants for the anchoring of high-tensile-strength elements;
FIG. 12 is a cross sectional view of a prior art system; and
FIG. 13 is a cross sectional view showing the use of a contact-pressure means according to the invention in the central region of an anchored length.
FIG. 1 shows an anchored cable KB, which is pulled in and anchored within a duct or pipe system K. In the case of this exemplary embodiment, the cable KB is one which itself has high-tensile-strength elements integrated in it. An anchoring zone extends generally from an accessible duct inlet location KE1 to a second duct inlet location KE2, which are generally designed as entry shafts. Anchored on the walls of these duct inlet locations KE1 and KE2 are anchoring points ASP1 and ASP2, respectively, to which at least one high-tensile-strength element of the cable is secured, an anchoring coil AS or similar retainer being arranged in each case at the exit location of the cable. At one end of the anchoring zone, this anchoring coils AS is attached directly to the anchoring point ASP2, while the second anchoring coils AS is suspended by a turnbuckle SS. The turnbuckle SS is then suspended from the anchoring point ASP1 by its second end and serves to anchor the cable KB and the high-tensile-strength element incorporated therein, which is not illustrated here for the sake of clarity. The cable KB itself is then routed further, for example to a corresponding outlet, a service connection or the like. A similar configuration is produced if a separate high-tensile-strength element is anchored within the duct or pipe system K, in which case, however, the corresponding cable is then attached with securing means, as illustrated in FIG. 6, for example. In this case, a high-tensile-strength cable is not necessary. In other words, any type of cable can be used when a separate high-tensile-strength element is used, as will be demonstrated later in subsequent drawings using examples. FIG. 1 clearly reveals that by and large the free space of the duct or pipe system remains free of securing units for cables that have been required previously in the prior art. The duct or pipe system can be arranged in any desired foundation, for example underneath a street section SP, the inlet and outlet locations also being utilized for leading the cables in and out. It is a major advantage, moreover, that a plurality of cables can be routed in parallel, it even being the case, under certain circumstances, that a plurality of cables can be routed in parallel, it even being the case, under certain circumstances, that the high-tensile-strength element can be utilized for a plurality of cables. The same principles of the invention apply when hollow sections with or without high-tensile-strength elements are pulled in, so further sketches or descriptions are unnecessary.
FIG. 2 shows a fiber-optic cable KB1, in which two longitudinal high-tensile-strength elements ZE are integrated in the cable sheath KM so that they are already situated oppositely. The cable core KS contains, for example, optical waveguides LWL or else copper conductors or a combination of both. Consequently, this cable KB1 does not require an additional high-tensile-strength element, since the anchoring can be performed by means of the integrated high-tensile-strength elements ZE.
FIG. 3 shows that the laying method can also be utilized for elongate hollow sections HP1, in this case high-tensile-strength elements ZE1 being arranged longitudinally in an adhering manner along the hollow section HP1. The anchoring to the anchoring points is once again effected by means of these high-tensile-strength elements ZE1. Electrical conductors, optical waveguides, optical-waveguide strips, electrical cables, dielectric cables or else, especially, microcables can now subsequently be introduced as desired into the cavity H1 of the hollow section HP1.
FIG. 4 shows a planar or oval hollow section HP2, which, longitudinally, has a correspondingly shaped cavity H2 into which, once again, the corresponding conductors or cables of any desired type can be pulled. The anchoring within the duct or pipe system is once again effected by means of two longitudinal integrated high-tensile-strength elements ZE2.
FIG. 5 shows a hollow section HP3 having a circular cross section into whose longitudinal cavity H3 conductors or cables can be inserted as desired. The anchoring is once again performed by means of the high-tensile-strength elements ZE3 embedded in the hollow section HP3.
FIG. 6 then shows the example for the laying of a cable which does not have any high-tensile-strength elements, this example having been indicated in the course of the description with reference to FIG. 1. Any desired conductors, such as optical waveguides LWL in this exemplary embodiment, for example, can be routed inside such a cable KB2. In this exemplary embodiment, the anchoring within the duct or pipe system is then effected not by means of elements of the cable KB2, but by means of a separate high-tensile-strength element ZE4, which is gripped at the anchoring points and is anchored by means of a turnbuckle. The cable KB2 is then attached to this anchored high-tensile-strength element ZE4 and fixed with the aid of securing means BE. Consequently, the simple method according to the invention can also be used in the case of cables or else in the case of hollow sections without high-tensile-strength elements.
FIG. 7 shows in an example that it is also possible to use a submarine microcable. Maxibundles MB having optical fibers are contained inside the microcable. The maxibundles may be composed of metal or of plastic. Arranged over them are stranded steel wires SD, which are used for anchoring to the anchoring points in the course of anchoring by the method according to the invention. Extending over the wires SD is an outer sheath AM composed of polyethylene, for example.
FIG. 8 shows a so-called sheath-only cable, for example a "FIG. 8 cable". This involves a combination of any desired cable KB and a steel cable SS, which, situated one above the other, are surrounded by a common plastic sheath KM, it also being possible for the high-tensile-strength element SS to extend in a recess AF in the cable sheath KM. In this case, the steel cable SS serves for anchoring within the duct or pipe system by the method according to the invention. The cable that is used may also be, for example, a microcable, comprising a tube and optical waveguides LWL loosely introduced therein. If a metallically-conducting tube is involved, this may, for example, be concomitantly used as a current lead as well. Rodent-protected cables are also especially suitable for use in a duct or pipe system.
FIG. 9 shows an optical overhead cable KB3 with a tubular supporting element (TOP cable) which can likewise be laid and anchored by the method according to the invention. This cable KB3 is anchored as a whole, since it contains a high-tensile-strength glass-fiber-reinforced plastic sheath GFKM. Inside the latter, there is either a stranded cable core VS or a maxibundle of optical waveguides. The entire system is surrounded by an outer sheath AM.
FIG. 10 additionally shows a so-called OWK cable, which has incorporated in its outer sheath AM, situated oppositely, high-tensile-strength elements in the form of steel wires SD. The core of this cable KB4 contains a stranded cable core or a maxibundle MB of optical waveguides, surrounded by a rodent-proof grooved sheath NSRM.
In addition to these exemplary embodiments of cables mentioned, by and large further embodiments are suitable which, in principle, can withstand the requirements with respect to the conditions prevailing in a duct and pipe system.
The anchoring points used for the high-tensile-strength elements may be, for example, hooks, ring eyes or similar securing elements, which are pegged or driven, for example, into the inlet or entry locations of the duct or pipe system. FIG. 11 shows two other variants for the securing of the high-tensile-strength elements, it being irrelevant whether the respective high-tensile-strength element is arranged in the cable or whether an independent element is used. Thus, a spreading apparatus, for example a spreading ring or clamping ring KR, can also be clamped in the entry location of the duct or pipe system by being spread open, so that the entry shaft is not damaged during the securing operation. Arranged on this clamping ring KR is at least one retainer H, which projects into the duct or the pipe in order to be able to ensure free anchoring of the high-tensile-strength element ZE. In the case of the anchoring variant in the right-hand part of FIG. 11, a cable KBR without any high-tensile-strength elements is used, for example, with the result that a separate high-tensile-strength element ZE is anchored on the retainer H, to which element the cable KBR is attached. The cable KBR is directed further into the inlet location KE.
The left-hand side of FIG. 11 shows a variant in which the cable KBL is routed up by a deflection roller UR into the inlet location, where the high-tensile-strength element, for example of the cable, is then secured to the anchoring point by means of a tensioning unit SE.
In all of the exemplary embodiments according to the invention, it is also possible for a plurality of anchoring units of cables and/or high-tensile-strength elements to be arranged so that they run parallel. When an electrically-conductive, separate, high-tensile-strength is used, this could be used as a current collector for robots which are used for service purposes.
In all of the exemplary embodiments according to the invention, it is also possible for receptacles for excess cable and/or optical waveguide lengths to be arranged at the inlet locations, for example in the clamping rings, which are then provided with corresponding guides and retainers.
FIG. 12 shows a cable KB, which may be either a high-tensile-strength element with an attached cable, a cable with an integrated high-tensile-strength or a hollow section with a high-tensile-strength element, and the cable KB is anchored in a duct or pipe system K, for example for gas, waste water, rain water or mixed water, between two duct inlet locations KE1 and KE2. It is indicated in this case that the cable KB is fixed in the inlet locations KE1 and KE2 and is inserted via deflection arches UB in each case into the duct or pipe system K and anchored. A sag with an arcuate profile known per se is ineluctably produced in this case, the largest sag DHO being established in the center in the case of free routing. This sag DHO can be disruptive for normal duct or pipe system operation, since, for example, cleaning apparatuses may bump into it or refuse may accumulate to the point of blockage.
FIG. 13 demonstrates the effect of the present invention and a solution to the above problem. In order to avoid the interfering sag, a contact-pressure means is inserted at the duct or pipe system K in the region of the large sag, which means presses the cable KB against the inner wall of the duct or pipe system. The consequence of this is that the originally large sag is divided into smaller sags DHM, which are then each established in the center of the partitioned regions or anchored lengths. It may be assumed in this case that given the same cable KB, the same anchoring force and the same total anchored length, the sags DHM established in the partial regions amount to approximately only � of the original sag DHO when a contact-pressure means is arranged centrally in the total anchored length. To support the cable KB, for example, a so-called part-liner PL is inserted and expanded, as has already been described above in the general part. In the case of long anchored lengths, it is also possible to implement a plurality of supports with part-liners PL or with the aid of expandable or spreadable rings. In this case, the number of such supports depends essentially on the cable KB used, the anchoring force and the length of the total anchored region, the contact-pressure means in each case being inserted and installed using correspondingly suitable robots in the manner already described. It is not shown here that, in addition, it is also possible to insert spreadable or expandable plastic or steel rings which are then expediently covered by subsequently inserted part-liners of the type described. These additional supports are necessary, for example, when particularly heavy cables or high-tensile strength elements are used.
Although various minor modifications may be suggested by those versed in the art, it should be understood that we wish to embody within the scope of the patent granted hereon all such modifications as reasonably and properly come within the scope of our contribution to the art.

pure, potent, reasonable price
Posted by Reviewer3199210 on Apr 22, 2010
Standardized potency, veggie caps. You can save a dollar or two every month buying these herbs separately, but this is the best combo i've tried for the price.
It helps!

I started to take Stress Response for 1 week and it helps from the 1st day. I became more calm. Thanks!
Good product.

Bought it to replace a product that we used for work related stress. It seems to work but not as good as Adapt 232, which is not sold in the US anymore.

A small fire from an overheated motor that circulates water to cool equipment at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant was extinguished around 10 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 5 by a TMI on-site fire brigade, according to the plant's operator.
The Unit 1 reactor was not threatened by the fire, which was put out quickly, and the incident posed no threat to the public's safety, according to Exelon Corp.
At no time was there a danger of radiation being released, according to a Nixle alert issued at about 11 p.m. Monday by Middletown Borough.
TMI declared an alert, the second-lowest of four emergency classifications under the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and notified state and local officials, Exelon said in an e-mail sent to local media.
The plant generated enough electricity for about 800,000 homes, according to Exelon.

Londonderry Twp.'s initial inspections of Beech Island have found that some property owners are pushing forward with improvements to their summer getaway properties that could land them in more trouble.
Under mandates from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Londonderry Twp. is conducting an inspection of the township's 500 island properties. Most of the properties, with the exception of some on Hill Island, fall within areas that are prone to flooding, and FEMA officials are compelling the township to get the summer cabins in line with FEMA regulations or the township will risk losing government-backed flood insurance for all of its residents.
Through newsletter articles and a public meeting, township officials have tried to reach out to owners of island retreats to let them know they must document the buildings on the islands and ensure they meet FEMA standards. The township made it clear that no additional building may occur without a permit – and none have been issued.
Still, "There's new construction out on the islands," said Jeff Burkhart, who heads the township's planning and zoning department and has inspected nearly all the properties on Beech Island. "I don't know what they think they are doing."
Burkhart said he fears that anyone continuing without permits will invoke harsher punishments on the township.
"We have a problem with property owners who think, 'Continue on, it's better to ask for forgiveness than to stop,' " said Anna Dale, a township supervisor.
Permits ensure work is being done to the standards set by FEMA covering everything from anchoring, elevation and even the type of paint used.
The township is collecting data based on the location, elevation and sewage treatment for the properties. September inspections found that 53 of 71 properties had buildings presently in use. Many of these, Burkhardt said, were stick-built construction.
FEMA regulations require that buildings "substantially damaged" in floods should be addressed by elevating them, moving them to higher ground or demolition. All buildings below base flood elevation are grouped as "substantially damaged" by the flood in 2011, according to FEMA.
There were 23 buildings identified in September that sustained that type of damage. Of those, Burkhardt reported 10 were elevated as required. Flood insurance paid for 17 substantially damaged buildings with just six complying with the requirement to elevate. None were relocated or demolished.
The inspection and inventory of the buildings was initially estimated to cost more than $300,000. The township will save at least 50 percent of that cost as it inspects the properties internally, rather than contracting an outside firm, said Steve Letavic, township manager.
That cost could equate to a tax increase of up to 2 mills, but Letavic said he does not want to burden Londonderry residents for an issue on the islands where people "are not following the rules." "Ninety percent of the people out there are not our residents," Letavic said.
However, when the township held a stakeholders meeting, island property owners said it was unfair that they paid property taxes at the same rate as mainland residents while receiving no township services. Aside from township contributions to the Londonderry Fire Department, which will respond to the islands, the township does not provide any municipal services to the island cabins and retreats.
The issues with the islands will continue over the coming years, as the township will be forced to use its data to begin enforcing FEMA requirements on the islands. In about two years, the township will also begin enforcing its own ordinance for on-lot sewage systems for island properties.
Thanks to FEMA and requirements passed down from the state Department of Environmental Protection, Londonderry Twp. will be spending tax money to keep a close watch on the 500 properties in the river – island getaways whose owners say the township ignored for decades.

Main Street in Middletown will not be repaved until 2016, officials with both the borough and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation have confirmed.
The rough condition of the road going into winter has been a source of concern for borough residents and borough officials alike.
At this point, it appears that both the borough and PennDOT are looking to Doli Construction of Chalfont – the company that the borough hired to do the water and sewer line replacement project under the road – to come back and make Main Street passable for the winter, to the degree that is possible without repaving.

A two-car accident in front of the Middletown Home on Route 230 in Lower Swatara Twp. around 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 30 ripped one of the vehicles in half – but miraculously, no one was seriously injured, township police said.
A Mazda Protege pulled out of a Middletown Home driveway into the path of a Volkswagen Jetta that was heading west in the passing lane on 230, Lower Swatara Police Chief Richard Brandt told the Press And Journal.
The Jetta struck the rear of the Mazda behind the driver's side, and the impact sheared off the back half of the Mazda and sent it over the guardrail on the other side of Route 230, Brandt said.
Golf clubs that were in the trunk of the Mazda landed all over the road, and debris from the crash was scattered across all three railroad tracks on the Harrisburg International Airport side of the highway, he said.
The driver of the Mazda, 20-year-old Jayson Elhajj of Lower Swatara Twp., was taken by ambulance to the hospital but his injuries appeared to be minor, Brandt said.
The driver of the Jetta, 17-year-old Noah Zimmerman, and a 15-year-old passenger, both of Lower Swatara Twp., refused medical treatment, Brandt said. The Jetta was towed from the scene.
"This was a fraction of an inch away from (being) a fatal accident," Brandt said. Had anyone been in the back seat of the Mazda, they almost certainly would have been seriously injured or even killed, the chief said.
Moreover, things would have been much worse had there been other traffic on the road at the time, especially heading east on Route 230 into Middletown, but luckily there wasn't, Brandt said.
"It would have been a three or four-car accident," the chief said.
The crash is still under investigation. No drugs or alcohol were involved, Brandt said. It appears that Elhajj pulled out into the path of the Jetta, which did not have any chance to avoid the collision, Brandt said.
It's possible Elhajj did not see the Jetta coming, but it's still too early in the investigation to know, Brandt said. Brandt said he does not expect any criminal charges to be filed.
At least two fatal accidents have occurred in this same area over the last 20 to 30 years, Brandt said. In one case, an elderly resident of the home was killed after pulling out into the path of another vehicle in broad daylight, Brandt said.
Brandt advised that drivers use caution when exiting the Middletown Home onto Route 230.
Lower Swatara police were assisted at the scene by police from Highspire and Penn State Harrisburg. Amtrak police were also alerted to the crash.
Also assisting were fire departments from Highspire, Lower Swatara, and Londonderry Twp., and Lower Swatara public works employees.

A new three-year contract has been approved for teachers in Middletown Area School District, according to a joint statement issued on Monday, Sept. 28, by the Middletown Area School Board and the teachers' union, the Middletown Area Education Association.
The school board approved the contract by 9-0 vote on Monday, Sept. 28. The teachers have approved the contract, according to the joint statement.

The average raise for district teachers in the first year is $1,386 (2.4 percent), followed by $1,597 (2.7 percent) in the second year and $1,639 in the third year (2.7 percent).
Hourly rates for extra-work assignments will gradually increase from the current $30.75 per hour to $35 per hour by the end of the agreement.
The new contract continues the qualified high deductible health plan that the school district put in place six years ago. The amount that teachers must pay toward their health care coverage will go up in each of the three years of the agreement, according to the joint statement.
The agreement also includes changed or added language pertaining to extended contract employees, supplemental contract timing, credit for teaching and evaluating exceptional children, induction program participation, personal leave and retirement notification.
The school board and the association entered into initial discussions toward a new contract in January. Both sides reached a tentative agreement in August.

A memoir by award winning journalist and Boston Globe writer Brian McGrory, Buddy: How a Rooster Made Me a Family Man is a moving and funny account of one man's journey from bachelor to husband and stepfather, aided by a menagerie of pets - including a cute baby chick who turned out to be a rooster. As a self-proclaimed animal lover, I found myself shedding a tear one minute and snorting with laughter the next as I read about the author's transition from a city dwelling, globetrotting single guy to a life in the suburbs as a family man.
Gilead is a quiet, reflective book about things of the heart and spirit—forgiveness and the relationship between father and son. John Ames is an elderly pastor in the small town of Gilead, Iowa in the 1950s. He had a son late in life and is writing down his thoughts and memories for his son so that his son will know about his family and heritage. Pastor Ames is the grandson and son of preachers. His grandfather had been a fiery abolitionist preacher before the Civil War and his father a pacifist preacher. His best friend is Robert Boughton, also a pastor in Gilead.
Launched by the Association of American Publishers, "Get Caught Reading" is a nationwide public service campaign to remind people of all ages how much fun it is to read – not only in the month of May, but all year long.

Feel like browsing for new authors to try? Stop in and check out our display of hand-picked staff favorites near the main staircase. We pulled our favorite fiction and nonfiction titles just for you.
Lighthouses are settings for a number of novels. People are fascinated by the mystery surrounding such remote places. Two recent novels that have lighthouse settings are: Light between Oceans by M. L. Stedman and Edge of the Earth by Christina Schwarz.
The title of this book intrigued me from the moment I first saw it. I enjoy reading books with settings in the South, and this title is as Southern as it gets. The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat is set in a fictional town in southern Indiana called Plainview. Reminiscent of The Help, this debut novel by Edward Kelsey Moore is filled with the charm and wit of the South. As African American teenagers in the late 1960's, Clarice, Barbara Jean, and Odette hung out with most of their peers in a diner called Earl's.
Book club members are often faced with the problem of getting enough copies of a title for members to read at the same time. If you belong to a book club, you should know about the Library's book club kits. Each kit contains 10 copies of a title plus book discussion questions. The kits can be checked out for 60 days. Since most clubs meet monthly, one member can check out the kit, pass out copies to members at the meeting, and collect the copies at the next meeting after discussing the book. Right now there are about 60 titles available with more being added.
Did you put off filing your income taxes until the last minute again this year? Do you continually struggle with deadlines, surf the Web instead of paying the bills, and prefer distraction to action? If so, I have the perfect self-help book for you. The Art of Procrastination, written by John Perry, an emeritus professor of philosophy at Stanford University, claims to be the effective guide to the art of dawdling, lollygagging and postponing.
If you like books featuring animal/human relationships such as those by James Herriot, Susan Wilson, and W. Bruce Cameron, or if you like books with quirky characters, humor, and a touch of romance such as those by Fannie Flagg and Anne Tyler, then you probably would enjoy this warm and fuzzy debut novel from a veterinarian who wrote two memoirs, Tell Me Where It Hurts and Love Is the Best Medicine.
Fun, fast, and trashy, with delicious characters skillfully woven into a complex plot and set against glitz and glamour, The Power Trip by Jackie Collins contains just the right amount of sex, mystery, greed and murder to make it the bestseller that it is. Five dynamic, powerful, and famous couples set sail on Russian billionaire Aleksandr Kasianenko's luxury yacht off the coast of Cabo San Lucas. Each of the couples accepted the coveted invitation for the cruise for their own - mostly selfish - reasons.
When I read Ready Player One it reminded me of a cross between the last Harry Potter book and Hunger Games with the same premise of a lone teen battling evil. The book is set in the United States in the year 2044 when things have gone bad due to climate change and poverty. Wade Watts is an impoverished 18-year-old orphan living in a vertical trailer park called the "stacks". He has rigged up a junked van as his sanctuary where he can log into his virtual school and spend all of his free time in the virtual world of OASIS.

Can e-mail be the personal assistant of video communications to ensure that meetings are set, reminders sent out, and people are updated on conversations?
For years I have been hearing my friends in the mobile field tell me that e-mail is dying and SMS is coming to life. Many speakers have stood in front of large rooms and spoken about how younger generations see e-mail as the channel "for old people" and that texting is much faster and more efficient.
By the looks of it, in my home last year, texting has taken over the need for instant messaging and phone calls for the day-to-day communications by my 12 year old. However, e-mail is still what she uses for "professional" items like homework, announcements, and things she needs to keep track of.
But in October of last year, things started to change. Texting went the way of the "old people" for my daughter, and video chat became the new mode of communication. And not just the standard one-to-one chat, but also the one-to-many chat, enabled by products like OoVoo. The funny part about this though, was that if anything important was said in the video chats, it was e-mail that was used to confirm study groups, dates, and other information.
On Wednesday evening, I was lucky enough to see Steve Ballmer do the pre-show keynote at CES. One of the things he showed was an enhancement to the Xbox 360 Kinect. It is a program where a person like you or I can build our own avatar, and the screen of the PC will connect and mimic our real-life facial expressions and body movements. But Kinect takes it to a new level, because it will take the avatars and allow them to perform a community chat.
Imagine sitting alone in your home office and turning on your avatar along with five other colleagues (all alone at their homes too). On the screen all six of you are in one room having a virtual conversation with facial expressions, hand gestures, and all. Sounds crazy right? (It makes Jane Jetson's fake face for video calls seem so old.) It's real, and it will be live in 2011. And, it will compel those of us in e-mail marketing to now consider video integration in our strategies.
As e-mail marketers, we have been able to define what role e-mail plays in conjunction with many other channels: telecommunications, online banners, social, and mobile. But now, it's time to define the role of e-mail as it relates to video. It's real, it's on the way, and it is going to change the way the younger generation communicates.
My thoughts are that e-mail is going to be best used with video when it can be the "reminder" that integrates with other channels to organize thoughts and next steps. What if "e-mail" becomes the personal assistant of video communications and ensures that meetings are set, reminders sent out, and people are updated on topical conversations. E-mail and video integration could be exactly what the e-mail industry needs to continue to build an even stronger foothold in our consumers' day-to-day lives moving forward.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - President Barack Obama says he is saddened to hear that Andy Griffith has died at age 86 and called the actor an extraordinary talent.
Obama said in a statement Tuesday that Griffith was beloved by generations and revered by entertainers.
Obama was one of many people to speak fondly of Griffith's career. Griffith was most famous for his character Sheriff Andy Taylor from "The Andy Griffith Show."
Ron Howard played Sheriff Taylor's son, Opie, on the show. Howard says Griffith was inspiring to grow up around and the show was an amazing environment.
Don Knotts was the goofy Deputy Barney Fife. Knotts' widow, Francey Yarborough Knotts, says Griffith was in good spirits when she spoke with him June 1, his birthday.
Knotts died in 2006 at age 81.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
It was all too easy to confuse Andy Griffith the actor with Sheriff Andy Taylor, his most famous character from "The Andy Griffith Show."
After all, Griffith set his namesake show in a make-believe town based on his hometown of Mount Airy, N.C., and played his "aw, shucks" persona to such perfection that viewers easily believed the character and the man were one.
Griffith, 86, died Tuesday at his coastal home, Dare County Sheriff Doug Doughtie said in a statement.
"Mr. Griffith passed away this morning at his home peacefully and has been laid to rest on his beloved Roanoke Island," Doughtie told The Associated Press, reading from a family statement.
Although he acknowledged some similarities between himself and the wise sheriff who oversaw a town of eccentrics, they weren't the same. Griffith was more complicated than the role he played _ witnessed by his three marriages if nothing else.
But that perception led people to believe Griffith was all that was good about North Carolina and put pressure on him to live up to an impossible Hollywood standard.
He protected his privacy in the coastal town of Manteo, by building a circle of friends who revealed little to nothing about him.
Strangers who asked where Griffith lived would receive circular directions that took them to the beach, said William Ivey Long, the Tony Award-winning costume designer whose parents were friends with Griffith and his first wife, Barbara.
